Alila Hinu Bay

I chose the Alila Hinu Bay in Mirbat, Salalah, to host a 3-night award ceremony celebration for my team of 22 partners. The experience was nothing short of spectacular, exceeding all expectations for a large group. What truly set this resort apart was their incredible ability to manage a large party while catering to individual needs. They didn't treat us as one bulk group; they expertly dealt with every person based on their specific demands. Any time a service wasn't to someone's liking, the response was immediate, supportive, and effective. The activity arrangements were a highlight. The resort perfectly organized diverse excursions for us, including trips to the stunning Wadi Darbat, Jabal Samhan, as well as snorkeling and diving adventures. Everything was coordinated smoothly, allowing our group to relax and enjoy. The heart of this resort is its people. We were greeted with genuine, warm smiles throughout our stay. A special mention must go to the fantastic hospitality team, including Ali and Liana, who made everyone feel welcome. This spirit extended to everyone – our group drivers, the chefs, and the room service staff were all exceptionally cooperative and supportive. If you are planning a significant corporate retreat, celebration, or any large group getaway where personal attention matters, I cannot recommend the Alila Hinu Bay highly enough. They turned a group trip into a collection of perfect individual experiences.

I would like to share my wonderful experience following a four-night stay at Alila Hinu Bay. We stayed in a magnificent villa with a heated pool and a beautiful outdoor bathtub, which offered an incredible sense of luxury and privacy. The accommodation was impressively spacious, including a separate living area that made us feel right at home, and we were particularly pleased with how immaculately clean the rooms were kept throughout our visit. Throughout our stay, we took full advantage of the hotel's activities, particularly the yoga sessions and kayaking, both of which were expertly organized. We also spent a great deal of time on the hotel beaches, where the service was impeccable and attentive. One of the highlights of our trip was the four-hour excursion to Jabal Samhan and Wadi Darbat, and I would like to extend a special thank you to our guide, whose knowledge and hospitality made the experience truly unforgettable. Furthermore, the convenience of the on-call buggy service around the resort and the high quality of the in-villa dining made our experience completely seamless. The friendly and attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, making the entire stay a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation in a stunning setting, and we already look forward to returning in the future.

⸻ A wonderful hotel in a truly unique location – pure nature. Immaculately clean, with excellently trained staff who are helpful, friendly, and exceptionally courteous. A special mention must go to the outstanding cuisine under Executive Chef Ashvini – an absolute master of his craft. He received his training in some of the finest hotels, and his skill and warm hospitality are truly exceptional and unforgettable. We will definitely return – for a longer stay. One week is simply not enough!

Our stay at Alila exceeded our expectations. The hotel is located in a secluded area but provides the highest level of service. We will gladly return to Alila.

We travelled from the UK to stay at Alila Hinu Bay, and from the very first moment it felt extraordinary. This hotel is a true hidden gem, made even more special by the most incredible, warm, and genuinely caring staff we have ever encountered. From arrival, we were welcomed with smiling faces and a beautifully refreshing drink that instantly set the tone for our stay. We had booked a Deluxe Pool Room, and it quite literally took our breath away. The room was flawless — immaculately clean at all times, thoughtfully designed, and with a view from the pool that was nothing short of stunning. It felt private, peaceful, and incredibly special. Breakfast each morning was outstanding, with a huge variety of options and exceptional quality throughout. A special mention must go to Imram, whose warmth and kindness made every breakfast feel personal and memorable. One of the highlights of our stay was the range of complimentary daily activities. The tea-making experience was particularly memorable, hosted by the wonderful Florina. Her knowledge, passion, and genuine enthusiasm made the experience so engaging and special. Florina truly went above and beyond for us throughout our stay — whether during activities or when we saw her again at dinner, her service was consistently faultless and heartfelt. Dining at the hotel was exceptional. The restaurants, Orchid and Sea Salt, offered delicious food in beautiful settings. Mirasol deserves special recognition for her warmth and friendliness — she made every meal feel like an occasion. We also took part in the bread-making experience, which was fascinating, and the kayaking activity, where Ravindu was an absolute pleasure to spend time with. His passion for wildlife and genuine love for his role really shone through and made the experience even more enjoyable. His attention to detail was particularly appreciated when we lost our sunglasses and he remembered us and had them returned to our room before we even realised! Beena was a fantastic help on reception, always assisting us with any bookings we required or last minute changes to our plans, she was always so welcoming and efficient. Our final night was spent dining under the stars on the beach, and this was truly a standout, once-in-a-lifetime moment. We were looked after by Daniel, whose service perfectly embodied everything that makes Alila so special — polite, knowledgeable, engaging, and absolutely impeccable. We also appreciated the chef talking to us about the meal and our meal choices. Coming from the UK, there is very little advertising for Alila Hinu Bay, and we only discovered it through social media. We are so incredibly glad we did. Every single moment felt special, and the experience was more than worth the journey. We will 100% be returning. Alila Hinu Bay, its incredible staff, and Oman itself will forever hold a very special place in our hearts. We would recommend this hotel without hesitation, every single time.
